This grant provides support for the acquisition of a comprehensive high temperature and high purity glove box materials processing facility for education and research at Iowa State University. One of the most significant changes in the development of new materials is the sophistication in the processing of the materials. Modern materials are now being designed at the atomic level and precise control of the composition, structure, and impurities are allowing new materials to be fabricated with exceptional properties and performance. Several current projects critically depend upon the clean, dry, and oxygen-free environment afforded by a high quality glove box system. This new state-of-the-art glove box preparation system will dramatically improve the quality, purity, and structure of the materials. This project has significant intellectual merit in that the new glove box system will be used by ~ 8 different research groups across the Midwest on a wide variety of projects. This multi-purpose glove box will enable new fast ion conducting glasses to be prepared that have exceptional conductivities, new photonic band gap materials will be processed with never before possible structures, new transparent conducting oxides will be prepared with exceptionally purity, new ferroelectric materials will be processed at exceptional purity so that the details of the micro-failure can be examined, new ultraphosphate glasses will be prepared that will enable new insights into the frequency dependence of the ionic conductivity, and finally a new class of polymeric materials will be processed with unprecedented levels of functionality. This project has significant broader impact due to the high level of undergraduate and graduate student use of the glove box processing system. Nearly all students in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at ISU will use the glove box system and it will form a core research facility. Undergraduate research groups at nearby undergraduate institutions, Coe College and Creighton University, and as a Midwest Regional Facility by research groups at the University of Indiana and the University of Missouri-Rolla, will benefit, among others

这笔拨款为爱荷华州立大学的教育和研究提供了一个全面的高温和高纯度手套箱材料加工设施。在新材料的发展中最重要的变化之一是材料加工的复杂性。现代材料的设计是在原子水平上进行的，对成分、结构和杂质的精确控制使得制造出具有特殊性能的新材料成为可能。当前的几个项目严重依赖于高质量手套箱系统提供的清洁，干燥和无氧环境。这种新的最先进的手套箱制备系统将大大提高材料的质量，纯度和结构。该项目具有显著的智力价值，因为新的手套箱系统将被中西部地区约8个不同的研究小组用于各种各样的项目。这种多功能手套箱将使新型快速离子导电玻璃的制备具有优异的导电性，新型光子带隙材料将被加工成前所未有的结构，新型透明导电氧化物将以极高的纯度制备，新型铁电材料将以极高的纯度加工，以便可以检查微故障的细节。新的超磷酸盐玻璃将被制备出来，这将使人们对离子电导率的频率依赖性有新的认识，最后，一类新的聚合物材料将被加工成具有前所未有的功能水平。由于本科和研究生对手套箱处理系统的高水平使用，本项目具有显著的广泛影响。ISU材料科学与工程专业（MSE）的几乎所有学生都将使用手套箱系统，它将形成一个核心研究设施。附近本科院校科学院（Coe College）和克莱顿大学（Creighton University）的本科研究小组，以及印第安纳大学（University of Indiana）和密苏里大学罗拉分校（University of missouri -罗拉）的研究小组组成的中西部地区设施，将从中受益
